<p>As a Columbia College 2011'er who also considered wharton--</p>
<p>If you want to do engineering/finance = SEAS
If you know you want to do finance === Wharton by far </p>
<p>As a side note, a lot of SEAS grads go into medical school so if you're considering a wider range of future employment other than Finance, Columbia SEAS is probably a better choice than Wharton. But when it comes to Finance jobs that you know you want 100% w/o doubt--- Wharton can not be beat.</p>
